Photos of Complete Next-Generation iPhone Enclosure Leaked

Being that iOS6 is essentially built to run on a three year old device (3GS) I am not really expecting any huge leaps in performance, regardless of what is under the hood.

That's an interesting point I haven't considered.

Essentially, iOS is being held back to minimize fragmentation. Kind of makes me feel fragmentation isn't so terrible a thing anymore...

The iPhone 4/4s design is great and looks and feels great. I don't understand what you guys want? They're not gonna make a phone like the 3GS again cause that design looks like a Samsung phone. What else can they do? They clearly love the design and I know the majority of 4/4s owners do as well. I hope for a change in the design just as much as you guys, but they want to differentiate between them and lower end phone manufacturers. Apple will innovate how they decide they want to. Last time I checked, we're not apple engineers being paid big time by apple. Let them do their job and release their form of innovation, and if you don't like it, there's a plastic android phone with your name on it.

The black front just doesn't look right with the body. Maybe because it isn't sitting flush and perhaps the official build of the iPhone it will sit flush.

Looks great, bring it on. We have (3) 4G iPhones on their last legs! My only issue will be how quickly I can procure 4 of the phones (Verizon version). We are ditching AT&T and need to replace all 4 phones on our plan.

A bunch of you girly whiners are truly pathetic. Until you use some Chinese kirf smartphones then you will realize how truly amazing the iPhone design really is. 99.9% of the smartphones out now are pure garbage in design and material construction. Sure they have massive screen sizes but if I wanted an ipad screen I buy an ipad.

You whiners take it for granted. You don't how difficult it is to design a phone like this and one that actually works without issues. If you don't like the design then buy something else. But to say its not innovative you're full of it. Design something else better than this and you can critic all you want. Until then you're just like a typical movie critic.

I can't understand why these mock-ups keep getting posted as the real thing and people believe it.

I'm sure most are aware these are rumored leaks. We don't have to always say "if these are true..." before we express our opinions on a Mac Rumors forum.

Come on now.

I like it.
I'd get one in black when it's time for an upgrade.

: mind blown :

Do you hear yourself? This is the problem with allowing Apple to get away with anything they want. If these designs are accurate, then they have not innovated, yet we'll stretch the term "innovation" so that we can keep calling them the most innovate tech company in the world.

Do you see why this is a problem?

You know, it's okay to criticize Apple.

I'll have to wait until the reveal to see if this is what were rolling with and what specs it will carry if I'm not satisfied then I'll switch to something else but if I see the new screen and terrific specs then ill probably stick around for the party.

For me, personally, I don't care that much that it isn't "innovative" or radically different. Like you say, there are alternatives if people aren't pleased with the iPhone (if the rumors turn out to be true). I'm simply saying, it's ridiculous we still tout Apple as the most innovative tech company in the world. It's intellectually dishonest, and worse, it allows Apple to get away with a lot that would, frankly, never be tolerated if it were any other company.

Either they are the most innovate tech company in the world and are innovating, or they're not. People can't have both sides of the argument when one doesn't lead to the other.

EDIT: Also, it's quite a commitment for what's presumably going to be the iPhone for the next 2 years. I think now that we see Apple's release pattern, people are wary of such a commitment with so little change.
